Mikki Nicholson (Eng) and Helen Gipson (Sco) trade places this round, so at Board 1, Theresa Brousson (MLT) and Mikki face each other for a third time for this round's annotated game, while at Board 2, Chinedu Okwelogu (NGA) plays Heln.

At Board 3, David Delicata (MLT), who could still conceivably catch up to THerea, plays Simon Gillam (Sco).

Theresa beats Mikki 407-371; Chinedu loses to Helen 396-456. Theresa now leads Chinedu by two games and 920 points, with four rounds to go, and likely ony needs two more wins to be Gibsonized for the first time.

Lunchtime! I sneak another plate of food out of It-Tokk, the hotel's Maltese buffet, and eat it in the tournament room while I edit photos. It is not clear to me what is specifically Maltese about the food, but it's okay. I have a string bean and some sort of shredded meat salad, which is interesting, and not bad; a deep-fried turkey cordon bleu that wasn't what I was expecting (the label helpfully said "turkey" in four languages, but gave no further description); a roll and a green salad. Not bad for hotel food.
